function in csh

[Troyan Krastev]

Hi everyone,

Can I define a function in "csh", and can you give me an example if it is posible.

Thanks,
Troy.

Hi Troy,

As such, csh functions don't exist. I think your closest bet is to use aliases. Have a look at:

ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/pub/examples/power_tools/unix/split/csh_init

for some examples.

Rgds, Robin.

I'd like to know why you want to restrict yourself to "csh", when "ksh" will do what you want?

Thanks Robin,

Harry, I prefer to write my scripts in ksh, but this is for a colleague of mine!

Thanks.
